only.Expand description
Trait for types that form a total order.
Implementations must be consistent with the PartialOrd
implementation, and ensure max
,
min
, and clamp
are consistent with cmp
:
partial_cmp(a, b) == Some(cmp(a, b))
.max(a, b) == max_by(a, b, cmp)
(ensured by the default implementation).min(a, b) == min_by(a, b, cmp)
(ensured by the default implementation).- For
a.clamp(min, max)
, see the method docs (ensured by the default implementation).
Violating these requirements is a logic error. The behavior resulting from a logic error is not
specified, but users of the trait must ensure that such logic errors do not result in
undefined behavior. This means that unsafe
code must not rely on the correctness of these
methods.
§Corollaries
From the above and the requirements of PartialOrd
, it follows that for all a
, b
and c
:
- exactly one of
a < b
,a == b
ora > b
is true; and <
is transitive:a < b
andb < c
impliesa < c
. The same must hold for both==
and>
.
Mathematically speaking, the <
operator defines a strict weak order. In cases where ==
conforms to mathematical equality, it also defines a strict total order.
§Derivable
This trait can be used with #[derive]
.
When derive
d on structs, it will produce a
lexicographic ordering based on the
top-to-bottom declaration order of the struct’s members.
When derive
d on enums, variants are ordered primarily by their discriminants. Secondarily,
they are ordered by their fields. By default, the discriminant is smallest for variants at the
top, and largest for variants at the bottom. Here’s an example:
#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
enum E {
Top,
Bottom,
}
assert!(E::Top < E::Bottom);
However, manually setting the discriminants can override this default behavior:
#[derive(PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)]
enum E {
Top = 2,
Bottom = 1,
}
assert!(E::Bottom < E::Top);
§Lexicographical comparison
Lexicographical comparison is an operation with the following properties:
- Two sequences are compared element by element.
- The first mismatching element defines which sequence is lexicographically less or greater than the other.
- If one sequence is a prefix of another, the shorter sequence is lexicographically less than the other.
- If two sequences have equivalent elements and are of the same length, then the sequences are lexicographically equal.
- An empty sequence is lexicographically less than any non-empty sequence.
- Two empty sequences are lexicographically equal.
§How can I implement Ord
?
Ord
requires that the type also be PartialOrd
, PartialEq
, and Eq
.
Because Ord
implies a stronger ordering relationship than PartialOrd
, and both Ord
and
PartialOrd
must agree, you must choose how to implement Ord
first. You can choose to
derive it, or implement it manually. If you derive it, you should derive all four traits. If you
implement it manually, you should manually implement all four traits, based on the
implementation of Ord
.
Here’s an example where you want to define the Character
comparison by health
and
experience
only, disregarding the field mana
:
use std::cmp::Ordering;
struct Character {
health: u32,
experience: u32,
mana: f32,
}
impl Ord for Character {
fn cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> std::cmp::Ordering {
self.experience
.cmp(&other.experience)
.then(self.health.cmp(&other.health))
}
}
impl PartialOrd for Character {
fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Option<Ordering> {
Some(self.cmp(other))
}
}
impl PartialEq for Character {
fn eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool {
self.health == other.health && self.experience == other.experience
}
}
impl Eq for Character {}
If all you need is to slice::sort
a type by a field value, it can be simpler to use
slice::sort_by_key
.
§Examples of incorrect Ord
implementations
use std::cmp::Ordering;
#[derive(Debug)]
struct Character {
health: f32,
}
impl Ord for Character {
fn cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> std::cmp::Ordering {
if self.health < other.health {
Ordering::Less
} else if self.health > other.health {
Ordering::Greater
} else {
Ordering::Equal
}
}
}
impl PartialOrd for Character {
fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Option<Ordering> {
Some(self.cmp(other))
}
}
impl PartialEq for Character {
fn eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool {
self.health == other.health
}
}
impl Eq for Character {}
let a = Character { health: 4.5 };
let b = Character { health: f32::NAN };
// Mistake: floating-point values do not form a total order and using the built-in comparison
// operands to implement `Ord` irregardless of that reality does not change it. Use
// `f32::total_cmp` if you need a total order for floating-point values.
// Reflexivity requirement of `Ord` is not given.
assert!(a == a);
assert!(b != b);
// Antisymmetry requirement of `Ord` is not given. Only one of a < c and c < a is allowed to be
// true, not both or neither.
assert_eq!((a < b) as u8 + (b < a) as u8, 0);
use std::cmp::Ordering;
#[derive(Debug)]
struct Character {
health: u32,
experience: u32,
}
impl PartialOrd for Character {
fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Option<Ordering> {
Some(self.cmp(other))
}
}
impl Ord for Character {
fn cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> std::cmp::Ordering {
if self.health < 50 {
self.health.cmp(&other.health)
} else {
self.experience.cmp(&other.experience)
}
}
}
// For performance reasons implementing `PartialEq` this way is not the idiomatic way, but it
// ensures consistent behavior between `PartialEq`, `PartialOrd` and `Ord` in this example.
impl PartialEq for Character {
fn eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool {
self.cmp(other) == Ordering::Equal
}
}
impl Eq for Character {}
let a = Character {
health: 3,
experience: 5,
};
let b = Character {
health: 10,
experience: 77,
};
let c = Character {
health: 143,
experience: 2,
};
// Mistake: The implementation of `Ord` compares different fields depending on the value of
// `self.health`, the resulting order is not total.
// Transitivity requirement of `Ord` is not given. If a is smaller than b and b is smaller than
// c, by transitive property a must also be smaller than c.
assert!(a < b && b < c && c < a);
// Antisymmetry requirement of `Ord` is not given. Only one of a < c and c < a is allowed to be
// true, not both or neither.
assert_eq!((a < c) as u8 + (c < a) as u8, 2);
The documentation of PartialOrd
contains further examples, for example it’s wrong for
PartialOrd
and PartialEq
to disagree.
Required Methods§
1.0.0 · Sourcefn cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Ordering
fn cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Ordering
This method returns an Ordering
between self
and other
.
By convention, self.cmp(&other)
returns the ordering matching the expression
self <operator> other
if true.
§Examples
use std::cmp::Ordering;
assert_eq!(5.cmp(&10), Ordering::Less);
assert_eq!(10.cmp(&5), Ordering::Greater);
assert_eq!(5.cmp(&5), Ordering::Equal);
Provided Methods§
1.21.0 · Sourcefn max(self, other: Self) -> Selfwhere
Self: Sized,
fn max(self, other: Self) -> Selfwhere
Self: Sized,
Compares and returns the maximum of two values.
Returns the second argument if the comparison determines them to be equal.
§Examples
assert_eq!(1.max(2), 2);
assert_eq!(2.max(2), 2);
1.21.0 · Sourcefn min(self, other: Self) -> Selfwhere
Self: Sized,
fn min(self, other: Self) -> Selfwhere
Self: Sized,
Compares and returns the minimum of two values.
Returns the first argument if the comparison determines them to be equal.
§Examples
assert_eq!(1.min(2), 1);
assert_eq!(2.min(2), 2);
Dyn Compatibility§
This trait is not dyn compatible.
In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.

Implements ordering of strings.
Strings are ordered lexicographically by their byte values. This orders Unicode code
points based on their positions in the code charts. This is not necessarily the same as
“alphabetical” order, which varies by language and locale. Sorting strings according to
culturally-accepted standards requires locale-specific data that is outside the scope of
the str
type.
